McCloy stated recently: "We have not enough divisions in all of West- ern Europe, We should have more." The "element of strength," he added, was of paramount political Importance.
Competent observers have be- lleved that the shortage of Ameri- can ground tronps in the Far East has drawn attention to an even MOL & critical shortage in Ger- many.
Whereas Army figures placed the United States troop strength in Japan at 125,000, organised into four divisions, the United States strength In Germany is given as 00,000, formed into only two divisions, the 1st and the Constabulary, recently reorganis- et from a pollee outfit into an armoured force.

There are some 17,000 such families in Germany. To brigh- ten life in a foreign land, the Army has created, with im. pressive

Occupation familles live in comfortable homes with servants. They slap in departinent store- lyne post exchanges, eat ice cream in strategically placed snack bars, due in reasonably luxurious clubs, send their. chil diren to American schools, and market in supermarket-type com- missaries.
A "Special Service" division, headed by a Major-General, is devoled entirety to the operation of post exchanges, cinemas and the booking of entertainment, lours and athletics events.

Though thousands of Germans are employed in these tasks, large part of the potential Ameri- can combat strength In Germany is pinned down in supervisory functions.

At Bremerhaven, the United Zone, the Army has established a States enclave in the British reception centre for Incoming and outgoing service families, com- plete with an hotel, special feed- ing for children, and acclimatis- ing kennels for pets,
To suggestions in the past that families be returned to the Unit- ed States, the Army has pointed to criticism of the United States forces during the immediate post- war period,
Familles, it is stated, have Im- measurably improved morale. morals and discipline. A favou- rite quip at Army clubs Imme- diately after the arrival of the first families was: 'The men are the same.

There are some officers men who feel, however, that if relations with Russla continue to deteriorate families may prove a psychological, If nat physical, burden.

Long before the "cold war" bc- came hot in Korea, Lieutenant General Clarence Huebner, the retiring United States troop com mander to Europe, carried out an extensive reorganisation of his command to put more service troops into combat units.
